[kj] ot - the first punk

[Brendan]

Sounds cool Jim, I went to Amazon but couldn't find it...?

Hey do you remember that weird link someone sent out recently, the guy
making a link between Heath Ledger's Joker and beanie and Raven / Killing
Joke? At the bottom of that page was a link to a japanese B-grade Godzilla
type movie someone had themed over with a KJ track...can't find it right
now but I found it interesting.
